More quotes by Grimes
I don't own anything designer.
Grimes
I listen to a lot of medieval music.
Grimes
I just can't perform well unless I'm wearing jeans.
Grimes
If you tell someone you're doing something innovative, they'll think you're doing something innovative.
Grimes
I always wanted to be really experimental.
Grimes
When an artist, or whomever, moves from their scene to the bigger pond, it starts getting crazy, because all of a sudden people don't respect you, and you have to start being a lot more aggressive than you would normally be.
Grimes
If I think about what other people are thinking when I'm making music, I just can't do it. It's too withheld - I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.
Grimes
I think you can hear, when you listen to someone's music, whether or not they're enjoying making it - it's so great to hear music where you can tell the person making it was just having a blast. That's really important to me as far as my process goes. That's probably why my music ends up being so poppy!
Grimes
Sometimes you find people who are magnetic, but once they get in front of a camera, they freak out and get weird.
Grimes
I grew up with four brothers, and in the back of my head I feel pretty masculine. It's always funny when I hear recordings of my voice, because it's so deep when I hear it in my head.
Grimes
I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.
Grimes
I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.
Grimes
I think one of the reasons I'm successful as a musician is that the first like 30 shows I played, I played with no monitors standing in front of guitar amps in a shitty, smoky warehouse where people were screaming and wasted, knocking over my gear. So shows after that seem pretty easy!
Grimes
It takes me probably about four hours to get into the groove [with making music]. And it's really important for me to not break the groove.
Grimes
From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.
Grimes
Most of my music videos were made for under $200.
Grimes
Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.
Grimes
The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.
Grimes
My manager lives on my block four of the apartments in my apartment complex of seven are people I know. It's a really close-knit community, and almost everyone on these few blocks are artists or graphic designers, because we live right on the cusp of a warehouse district.
Grimes
It's kind of like I'm Phil Spector and I'm forcing a young girl to make pop music and perform exhaustively. Except, instead of it being someone else, that girl is also me.
Grimes
